Title: The Graeco-Roman Context of Early Christian Literature By: Roman Garrison Format: Hardcover Vendor: Bloomsbury Academic | Weight: 12 ounces ISBN: 1850756465 ISBN-13: 9781850756460 Stock No: WW56462 |
In this volume of essays the Graeco-Roman background and context of early Christianity are explored for significant parallels. From the athlete metaphor in 1 Corinthians 9 to the role of Aphrodite as the goddess of love and sexuality, the important cultural symbols and terminology that the first Christians employed are examined. Garrison maintains that the Graeco-Roman setting of early Christianity is essential to our understanding of the New Testament and the Apostolic Fathers.
